An LJer, canadiangoddess, who has a friend who works on the set, made this post, regarding Kim and how people on the set are dealing with it, and how THEY are unimaginably thinking of US at this time.

I am going to memorialize it here, but please go thank her for sharing.

From Jim Beaver's myspace:

"Jim is in mourning for one of the best friends and best directors he's ever known--Kim Manners, who died last night from lung cancer"

I don't believe that our show would be what it is had it not been for him. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and the cast and crew.
